Stora Enso which is a worldwide leader in sustainable packing, has aligned with Novapor which is a German-based packing proficient, to present Papira, an advanced cellulose foam packing resource intended at revolutionising packing in the woodwork market. As a share of a cooperative pilot plan, both market players are phasing out conformist foams, substituting them with a wood fibre-constructed substitute that decreases CO2 releases but also sustains higher protective presentation.

Novapor which is an important associate in the packaging sector since 1958 which has long been dedicated to generate innocent and sustainable packaging resolutions for an extensive variety of businesses, comprising woodworking. With its Danish alternative, Novapor Nordic which is the company works carefully with patrons to grow packaging resolutions that fulfil both ecological and useful necessities. The partnership between Novapor and Stora Enso is based on a combined idea of decreasing the ecological influence of packaging.

Juulia Kuhlman who is the Director of Business Development at Stora Enso Biofoams has explained, “Associating with Novapor seems to be a natural fit for us. By gaining 50 years of practice in emerging advanced packaging, they reliably go the additional mile to resolve their clients’ issues. This inquisitiveness and determination have been crucial to the accomplishment of our pilot plan.”

The overview of Papira signifies an important step onward in making the market’s packaging more maintainable. Traditional packing resources, such as polyethylene foam, are being substituted by a resolution that is both recyclable and biodegradable. The new wood fibre-based foam is an important addition to the growing demand for mono-material packaging that is completely recyclable within cardboard and paper streams.

Novapor Nordic which is a part of the Novapor group, recognized a rising necessity among their customers for more environment-friendly packaging resolution. For instance, Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, an enhanced bathroom mirror producer, required a sustainable substitute to polyethylene foam. The corporation desired a mono-material packing resolution that would be completely biodegradable, positioning with their assurance to dropping their carbon footprint.

Head of Novapor Nordic, Thomas Søgaard, expressed, “The transition to wood fibre-based solutions is a crucial next step in packaging. Mono-material packaging made entirely of cardboard and paper, rather than plastic combinations, is highly relevant for our client. Switching from fossil-based PU or PE to paper fibre requires redesigning the packaging to suit the unique characteristics of cellulose foam, but the results have been impressive.”
